Week 5 Stash Report

I had hoped to get this posted last night. . .but my DH had to go back to work & I needed to stay on track with the "pre-Spring" cleaning routine that I am trying to set up.

But before I get to my numbers I want to share a picture. . . DH & I went to Lancaster, PA for his birthday weekend at the end of January. Things were a bit hectic because we wanted to get home on Sunday in time to attend church & the congregational meeting (but we didn't get there).

We did alot of antiquing and came home with a Grandmother's clock. Here she is:



It plays Westminster chimes, which I love, and it allowed us to help the economy along a little, he he he.

Ok, now to "own up" to my weakness:

Fabric Added This Week: 10 yards (on order, but I'll take the "hit")

Fabric Added Year to Date: 26 yards

Fabric Used This Week: 1/2 yard (total of 2 FQ's for Birthday Block swap blocks)

Fabric Used Year to Date: (25 1/2) yards

But, while my numbers don't look the way I want them I HAVE been working. . . each week I work on a different project. This week I am back to working on my sister's wedding quilt. Last week was my week to work on the Quilt Retreat Mystery that I started in October 2008. . .I'm half-way through Clue #4 and there are only 7 clues so that should be a flimsy soon, since I think most of the cutting & prep work is complete & the blocks should be coming together shortly.

And, lest you all think I am just "lolly-gagging" around, I have also read 1 book & listened to another . . so that is 2 books down in January; and I've started my 3rd book for the year!

I think I better start taking pictures of quilt stuff so that you will know that I AM working on stuff. . . it's just that showing cut fabric doesn't seem very inspiring. . . but seeing complete blocks or pieces is fun, don't you think.

Perhaps I'll have some pictures to show you later this week.

In peace and pieces,
